'''Sidi Badr''', later known by his [[regnal name]] '''Shams ad-Dīn Muzaffar Shāh''' ({{lang-fa|شمس الدین مظفر شاه}}), was the [[Sultan of Bengal]] from 1490 to 1494.

==Biography==
Sidi Badr was born to a [[Muslim]] family of [[Habshi]] descent. Intending to takeover Bengal, he first killed Habash Khan, the regent of the young Sultan [[Mahmud Shah II]], before proceeding to also kill the Sultan. Badr ascended the throne under the title of ''Shams-ud-Din Muzaffar Shah''.

He developed an army of 30,000 soldiers; recruiting thousands of [[Afghans]] and 5,000 Abyssinians.<ref>{{cite Banglapedia|author=Ibrahim, Muhammad|article=Rule of Afghans}}</ref> In 896 AH (1490-1491 AD), he constructed a mosque in [[Gangarampur]], adjacent to the [[Dargah]] of Makhdum Mawlana Ata. On 30 December 1492, his governor [[Khurshid Khan]] established a [[jame mosque]] near [[Chapai Nawabganj District|Nawabganj]] on the banks of the [[Mahananda River]].<ref name=dani>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.126929/page/n51/mode/2up|title=Asiatic Society Of Pakistan Vol-ii|author=Ahmad Hasan Dani|author-link=Ahmad Hasan Dani|chapter=Analysis of the Inscriptions}}</ref> He defeated the [[Kamata Kingdom]] in battle in the year 898 AH (1492-93 AD) and subsequently issued coins bearing ''Kamata Mardan 898''.<ref>{{cite Banglapedia|article=Coins|author=Muhammad Rezaul Karim}}</ref> On 2 July 1493, the Sultan constructed a building near the [[dargah]] of Nur Qutb Alam in [[Hazrat Pandua]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Abdul Karim|url=https://archive.org/details/SocialHistoryOfTheMuslimsInBengalDownToA.D.1538-AbdulKarim/page/n119/mode/2up?q=poles|title=Social History of The Muslims in Bengal|page=108|chapter=Sufis and their influence|year=2001}}</ref>

In 1494, his [[Vizier|wazir]] (chief minister) Sayyid Husain led a rebellion in which he was killed. Husain succeeded as Sultan, assuming the name [[Alauddin Husain Shah]], and founded the [[Hussain Shahi dynasty]] of Bengal.<ref>{{cite Banglapedia|author=ABM Shamsuddin Ahmed|article=History}}</ref> He also removed all [[Habshi]]s from administrative posts, ending Habshi rule in Bengal. These Habshis eventually migrated to [[Gujarat]] and the [[Deccan sultanates|Deccan]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/africaatlse/2013/06/25/photoblog-the-african-diaspora-in-the-indian-ocean-world/|title=The African Diaspora in the Indian Ocean World|website=[[London School of Economics]]}}</ref>
